We already have a way of bundling up the configure scripts in a tarball, we 
may just as well use that. Its not used right now becaues a) monotonically 
increasing version numbers for the confball are a pita, and b) we don't 
want to put every temporary confball on the mirror network. E.g. if 
somebody steps up and extends the bootstrap script to save/load based on 
the git head sha1, e.g.:

    ./bootstrap --save-head

saves upstream/configure-<sha1>.tag.gz

    ./bootstrap  --load-head http://path/to/upstream/

loads http://path/to/upstream/configure-<sha1>.tag.gz

then I can add them to the release script and buildbots...
